We offer an excellent service whether you choose to take on insurance online or by calling our service centre which is open 6 days a week.

Insurance cover especially designed for Engagement Rings

Over time and with constant wear, the biggest fear with engagement rings, is that the settings will become loose and the stone will be lost.

In the event of a claim, we will liaise with the insurers who will endeavour to obtain a diamond that is as close to the original as possible.
